Ask HN: What language should a Java dev switch to in 2022?
3 by SilentPupper12 | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I'm feeling pretty limited by Java in terms of professional opportunities. It seems like I can only really find employment at old legacy companies with it. I would like to stay as a backend dev but I'm suffering choice paralysis at this point. I know python but don't really have much professional experience with it, so I've been looking at learning a JVM based language like Kotlin or Scala, but I'm also seeing people talking about Go or Rust as the future backend languages. What would you pick to commit the next 3-4 months to in a situation like this?
